Little by little, time passed.

The tigress was getting weaker and weaker, and she no longer whined from her mouth, but wheezed hard.

A few minutes later.

Yang Qianyu stood up with a happy face, he held a bloody tiger cub in both hands, and let out a long breath and said, "I was born." ”

Yang Lixue on the side was shocked when she heard this, and there was a look of joy on her face.

The companions who were watching from a distance also exhaled in unison, showing relieved expressions.

But at this time, Yang Qianyu looked at the tiger cub in his arms and was stunned again, he tried the tiger cub's snort with his hand, and suddenly said with a shocked expression on his face: "Stillborn? How so? ”

The tigress seemed to understand Yang Qianyu's words, looked at the motionless cub in his hand, and let out a low whimper. The hoarse and desolate beast roar made Yang Qianyu also feel a burst of sadness, he shook his head and let out a sigh.

"Brother Qianyu......" Yang Lixue also came to Yang Qianyu's side at this time, looking at the tiger cub corpse in Yang Qianyu's arms, she didn't know what to say.

"It's a pity." Yang Qianyu shook his head slightly.

Yang Lixue squatted down and stroked the tigress to comfort it, but when she stroked the tigress's belly, she suddenly felt that there seemed to be something squirming in it. Yang Lixue was stunned for a moment and thought of something, and hurriedly shouted: "Brother Qianyu, the belly of the tigress!" ”

"Huh?" Hearing this, Yang Qianyu immediately moved his attention to the tigress's abdomen again, and after carefully stroking the abdomen for a while, his face showed a hint of joy. "There's another one?!"

"Cher, come and help me." Yang Qianyu greeted and started to rescue again, and Yang Lixue also came forward to help after agreeing.

Yang Qianyu secretly complained about his carelessness while rescuing. I actually forgot that the saber-toothed tiger belongs to the cat family, and it is normal to give birth to several offspring in one litter.

Time passes little by little in a dreary atmosphere.

Everyone present felt a burst of tension and depression, and Yang Qianyu's forehead was already full of sweat unconsciously.

A few more minutes later, another tiger cub was born covered in blood.

"Haha! Alive!! This time it's alive!! Yang Qianyu carefully held the tiger cub that was stained with blood and didn't even open his eyes, and smiled excitedly after confirming that the little tiger cub was healthy and sound.

"Let me hug me." Yang Lixue was also happy to take over the tiger cub.

"Wait." Yang Qianyu shook his head slightly, turned around and carefully put the tiger cub next to the tigress, whose breath was already very weak, and then pulled Yang Lixue back a few steps.

The smell of the cubs made the tigress, whose breath was getting weaker and weaker, open its eyes, and it tried its best to support its upper limbs, quietly staring at the cubs covered in blood, and the gaze was unexpectedly gentle.

At this moment, the tigress seemed to be rejuvenated.

The next second, it actually stood up.

I saw the tigress lick the blood on the cub's body little by little with her tongue, and then gently picked up the cub, and then walked towards Yang Qianyu and Yang Lixue step by step. The companions in the distance were shocked when they saw this, and hurriedly leaned up.

"Don't move, it's fine." Yang Qianyu waved his hand to stop his companion's move. Then he and Yang Lixue took a few steps forward and stood in place.

Yang Qianyu saw that the tigress's eyes were very gentle, full of maternal brilliance, and knew that it would not attack herself at this time. Besides, cubs cannot grow up without their mother's care. Although the tigress stood up suddenly, Yang Qianyu knew that the tigress's life was on the verge of ending at this time, and all her actions now were just a return to the light.

The tigress came to Yang Qianyu and Yang Lixue with her cubs in her mouth. This two-meter-tall and nearly four-meter-long demonic beast stood in front of the two of them like a small mountain. Even though the strength of the two of them was not weaker than that of the saber-toothed tiger, it was still slightly difficult to breathe because they were oppressed by the latter's invisible coercion.

The tigress gently placed the cub on the ground, then pushed the cub at the feet of the two, and then let out an earth-shattering roar with her hair raised. The roar shook the trees in the distance, and countless birds fled in panic.

Clearly, the tigress was asking the two to take care of their children.

Yang Lixue squatted down and picked up the tiger cub, and nodded silently at the tigress.

The tigress stared at Yang Qianyu and Yang Lixue for a moment, then turned around and walked towards another tiger cub that had lost its breath of life. I saw it gently come to the tiger cub, stretch out its tongue to lick the blood stains on the tiger cub's body, and then carefully pick it up, crawl to the side that has long been dead but still standing proudly to protect his partner, relying on the body of his partner to hold the dead cub and slowly lie down. After glancing nostalgically at the cub in Yang Lixue's arms, he slowly closed his eyes......

Yang Lixue gently rubbed the cub who had not yet opened her eyes, and took out a cloak from her storage space to wrap it. I saw that there seemed to be tears in her eyes.

"In the end, it's a girl, and I'm actually moved by a beast." Yang Qianyu looked at Yang Lixue's appearance and mocked in a low voice.

After finishing speaking, Yang Qianyu tightened her collar, feeling that the weather seemed to be getting colder recently, and she might have a cold and couldn't help but have a runny nose and tears.

Yang Qianyu didn't seem to have noticed, since they had experienced the tempering of their bodies through the crossing, their physique had already been almost invulnerable, how could they catch a cold?

Yang Qianyu turned to look at the tigress who had lost her breath of life, and whispered to her companions who came up, "Let's dig a pit and bury them." ”

"Okay."

Everyone was also moved by the tigress's behavior, Li Xiang nodded when he heard this, turned around and led everyone to prepare a grave for the two saber-toothed tigers.

Soon, a grave was dug and the saber-toothed tigers and their cubs were placed in the grave and filled in to form a burial bag.

After doing all this, the group turned and headed back towards where the convoy had stopped.

Yang Qianyu, who walked at the end, looked at the newly erected tomb, stepped forward and took out a long sword from the storage space, and carved a line of words on the wooden board that served as the tomb was erected - 'The resting place of a pair of loyal couples'.

After carving this line, Yang Qianyu inserted the long sword into the side of the tomb, turned around and chased after everyone.

－

The convoy continued on its way home without incident. Towards evening, they finally arrived in a town and settled down in the town's only inn.

In one of the hotel's rooms, everyone gathered for dinner. At this time, there was a new diner on the table.

Yang Lixue held the tiger cub with one hand with great interest, and scooped a spoonful of goat's milk with the other hand and sent it to the tiger cub's mouth. Then the paws scratched by the little tiger cub flew away, and the milk splashed everywhere. However, Yang Lixue didn't care at all, and still patiently coaxed the tiger cub.

Along the way, Yang Lixue is trying to use various methods to feed the little tiger cub. This beast has an innate ability to deter other earthly creatures, and if it can feed the cubs so that they do not lose their wildness, then it will undoubtedly have an extra battle ace for everyone.

The female saber-toothed tiger gave birth to two cubs, a male and a female, and the first one was born to a male cub, but unfortunately died. Beasts, including Warcraft, don't have a long growth cycle. Even a high-ranking demonic beast like the saber-toothed tiger has only been born to grow up for only three or four years. As long as it can be carefully cultivated, it can play a huge role in a few years.

However, Yang Qianyu now feels more and more that raising this little guy is a big mistake.

Because the howl that this tiger cub makes when it wakes up is so annoying.

And this little guy is still very good. Except for Yang Lixue, anyone who tries to hold it will make a fuss, even Yang Qianyu, who delivered it with his own hands. Yang Qianyu tried to hug it, but the little guy cried and made trouble, tossing back and forth in Yang Qianyu's arms, making Yang Qianyu miserable. It will only be quieter when Yang Lixue holds it in her arms - of course, the so-called 'quieter' is only relative. It's like now, the little guy is making a fuss and not eating, but he is screaming. Yang Lixue had to hold the tiger cub in her arms and gently pat the little tiger cub, while coaxing the baby with "oh-oh-oh ......baby" in her mouth.

Yang Qianyu rubbed his forehead in distress. The difficult and high-tech job of 'coaxing children' is not what a big man like him is good at, that is, girls seem to be born with this skill advantage. With Yang Qianyu, it is impossible to coax the little tiger cub to drink milk so patiently.

"Are you sure you want to feed it yourself?" Yang Qianyu asked Yang Lixue again, "We don't have experience in raising a saber-toothed tiger." ”

"It's okay, Brother Qianyu, have you forgotten that I like to raise small animals the most?" Yang Lixue teased the little tiger cub in her arms and replied.

Everyone shuddered when they heard this. Yang Lixue likes to raise small animals very much, and she has raised many small animals before. It's just that interest is interest, and her breeding level is really not flattering. The little animals she had raised in the past—like rabbits, birds, kittens, dogs, etc.—either starved to death because they had not been fed for a long time because of negligence, or they were too concerned and forced too much food for the first time and accidentally died of it. Therefore, everyone expressed great concern about Yang Lixue's idea of personally feeding the saber-toothed tiger cubs - but this worry and doubts about Yang Lixue's ability to raise animals must not be said in front of Yang Lixue, otherwise the little girl's face will be even worse if she becomes angry.

"I'm really worried about the future of this little tiger cub......" Yang Qianyu smiled bitterly.

"That's pretty much it." Yang Lixue said indifferently while changing the way of feeding, dipping her fingers in some milk and feeding it to the tiger cub.

"You'd better be careful not to get bitten by the little one." Yang Qianyu advised.

"No, the little guy is very well-behaved, giggle, it's so itchy......" Yang Lixue couldn't help but chuckle.

Maybe it's because it's been noisy long enough, and the cub is obviously hungry. And the milk is not a hard spoon but warm and soft fingers, so the little tiger cub quieted down and obediently sucked Yang Lixue's fingers, and the tingling brought by the little tongue licking the milk made Yang Lixue chuckle.

However, relying on the sticky milk dipped in fingers is obviously not enough for the little tiger cub to eat, and the tiger cub who is still unsatisfied still holds Yang Lixue's fingers and refuses to let go. From time to time, she also grinded Yang Lixue's fingernails with her short fangs, which were already slightly protruding.

"Oops." Yang Lixue suddenly snorted softly, and a trace of red oozed from her fingers. Although the newborn baby saber-toothed tiger has short tusks, it is very sharp. Maybe it was because he was too happy to suck, the little tiger cub's fangs accidentally slashed through Yang Lixue's fingers, cutting a small wound on his fingers. I saw a drop of blood dripping on the little tiger cub's fangs, and the little tiger cub's tongue stretched out and licked, licking the blood droplets on the teeth like a mouth.

"Cher, are you alright?" Zhou Si, who was on the side, saw Yang Lixue exclaim in surprise and hurriedly asked.

"It's okay, it's just a minor injury...... Hey? Yang Lixue just replied, her expression suddenly changed, and she looked down at the tiger cub in her arms.
